1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease. Transcriptional regulation of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) by the transcription factor Krüppel‑like factor 4 (KLF4) serves an important role in chronic inflammatory disease. However, to the best of our knowledge, the role of both these factors in AS has not been previously reported. In the present study, ATDC5 cells were induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to establish an AS inflammatory injury model. The expression levels of FGF21 and KLF4 were detected using reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blotting. Cell transfection was performed to alter the expression levels of KLF4 and FGF21. Subsequently, the regulatory effects and mechanisms underlying KLF4 and FGF21 on oxidative stress and inflammation in AS were investigated by performing Cell Counting Kit‑8 assays, ELISAs, TUNEL staining and western blotting. Moreover, the expression levels of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)/NF‑κB/p53 pathway‑related proteins were detected via western blotting. FGF21 overexpression promoted LPS‑induced viability on ATDC5 cells, inhibited LPS‑induced apoptosis, and decreased the LPS‑induced inflammatory response and oxidative stress levels of ATDC5 cells. Overexpression of the transcription factor KLF4 reversed the protective effect of FGF21 overexpression on LPS‑induced inflammatory injury in ATDC5 cells. The results suggested that this process may be achieved via regulating the SIRT1/NF‑κB/p53 signaling pathway. Overall, the present study demonstrated that KLF4 downregulates FGF21 to activate inflammatory injury and oxidative stress of LPS‑induced ATDC5 cells via SIRT1/NF‑κB/p53 signaling.
